Reappropriating Squeak Dev :)

I think I disagree.  Squeak-dev is still getting between 10 and 50
messages posted every day, so I don't think it looks like a dead list to
the casual observer.

The individual lists are very convenient for getting deeper into a
subject without bothering everyone on squeak-dev, and it's easier to
follow a few targetted lists.

I see your point that we don't want to keep all discussion separated...
list maintainers/team leaders should periodically post to squeak-dev
with more important announcements or summaries of what's going on, and
have an occasional discussion on squeak-dev.  And also point out the
sub-list to everyone, so that interested people can join the sub-list.

By the way, the new ezmlm browsing interface for the team mailing list
archives is much nicer than it used to be.  It's now pretty pleasant to
poke around the various lists and see which ones are active... (you'll
see that some are quite active: packages, website, janitors,
box-admins).  Check out the team lists at:
